HEAD  QUARTERS, 

Richmond,  Va., 

March  31,1802. 

To  the  Presidents  of  the  Bail  Foads  in  the  Confederate  States, 

With  a  view  to  economy,  and  to  prevent  the  wear  and  tear  of  the  rolling 
stock  as  well  as  the  roads  themselves,  it  is  suggested  to  the  Presidents  of 
the  Rail  Roads  in  the  Confederate  States,  that  they  establish  an  uniform 
Schedule,  fixing  the  running  speed  on  their  respective  roads,  at  a  rate  not 
to  exceed  fifteen  miles  an  hour. 

R.  E.  LEE, 

General.
